Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
<em>Student A</em>
d = 3/4 mile
t = 6 minutes
<em>Student B</em>
d = 1/2 mile
t = 5 minutes
Note
In both cases, the units are the same, so unit conversion is not necessary.
Solution
<em>Student A</em>
r = d / t
r is the rate of travel in miles / minute
r = 3/4 / 6
r = 3.4 // 6/1 The 1 is put below the 6 so it is easier to divide. Invert the bottom and multiply.
r = 3/4 * 1/6
r = 3/24
r = 1/8 miles / minute
<em>Student B</em>
r = d / t
r = 1/2 // 5 / 1 Turn the bottom fraction upside down and multiply
r = 1/2 * 1/5
r = 1/10
Question
which is bigger: 1/8 or 1/10?
1/8 = 0.125
1/10 = 0.1
1/8 is bigger by 0.025
Answer
Student A is faster by 0.025 miles / minute.
I think the answer us x=14
Answer:
A is the answer!
Step-by-step explanation:
You would solve this by changing the fractions into decimals.
If you multiply out 10 2/3*9/10 you would get 9.6.
9.6 is less than 10 2/3!

Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
to find a proportion they must equal each other
8/4 in its simplest form is just 2
to make r/3 = 2 r must be 6
6/3 is 2
